A community shop and cafe in Styal has been granted planning permission to build an extension to replace temporary outdoor shelters.

Earlams on Altrincham Road intends to replace temporary outdoor shelters with a single storey extension to provide additional seating for the cafe and extra facilities which can be used by local community groups.

The scheme also includes the provision of disabled toilet facilities.

The property is owned by the National Trust, whilst the store which opened in July 2014 is a limited cooperative which is funded by members of the community.
